Mr. Kuhn represented me in my divorce in 2005. His knowledge and expertise were apparent. The reason I retained him was because he was honest and gave me reasonable expectations. I felt my needs were always tended to by Mr. Kuhn and his paralegal Frances. I retained Mr. Kuhn in 2014 for a custody matter. His demeanor is comforting and I feel at ease knowing my case is important to my attorney just as it is to me!

Im very lucky to have found Mr. Kuhn. Previously I was not confident in my situation...or my lawyer. Then I was recommended to Mr. Kuhn, and he handled my divorce fast and effectively. After seeing him hard at work in the courts and always keeping me informed, I knew I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him.

Divorce is a very stressful and emotional event. Steven was with me every step of the way. Throw into that a very uncooperative and unreasonable family member. Steven was able to keep me grounded and show me that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Steven is a true professional and his experience clearly stands out. What impressed me the most was Steven's character. It was clear to me that Steven always acted by keeping my best interests in terms of finances and emotional support in the forefront. It was this that guided me in being able to make objective and sound decisions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steven to my family, friends and colleagues.

James Winkler is currently representing me in a divorce after a very long marriage that ended when my husband abandoned me emotionally and financially. The settlement papers are signed and we are waiting for the final decree. Mr. Winkler is my second attorney. The first attorney didn't return any of my telephone calls, refused to meet with me before a 4 way meeting , and let me walk into the meeting scared and unprepared. Things changed as soon as I retained James Winkler. He was kind, supportive and realistic. He advised me of my options and we discussed each of them in detail. I never felt rushed or demeaned or that I was an annoyance, as I felt with my first attorney. He LISTENED to me. He answered every phone call and email from me, and there were a lot of them. He went to court and fought for me and got me an order for temporary relief when my husband refused to pay anything towards the marital bills. He was very professional in court and in the meetings with my husband's attorney. He is an expert in the field and it clearly shows. Most important- he talked to me about the bottom line- when it made sense to fight and when it made sense to settle. Because of this attorney, I have my house and my 401k. Money is a big issue now as I am suddenly self supporting and, under the circumstances (divorce is expensive!), the fees were fair and reasonable. In this very trying and emotional time in my life, I feel very supported by this attorney and this firm and I am very very thankful that I found them.

All and all Micheal and his office did an excellent closing for a Leisure Village condo I rehabbed while out of state. I would recommend to others. It wasn’t especially easy as the buyer was out of state as well but I can’t blame others for that.
